Audioquest customer support is non-existent. I wrote them three times with a specific question about a product I own (Niagara 3000) and got no response at all. Fortunately, I did end up getting technical support, specifically regarding that Audioquest product, from the Parasound customer support service. Audioquest has still not responded with information about their own product.
Audioquest vs. Others
I realize that this post will probably open a landslide of responses but my question is focused on the comparison of Audioquest vs other manufacturers. This is not aimed to address power cables or speaker wire but only interconnect cables. Like Audioquest, many brands offer cables in a range of prices....low, medium, high, and super high. My interest is not to compare a lower price/quality cable to one that is far superior but to ask if comparisons have been done within equal price ranges of different brands.
Yes, some systems are capable of distinguishing minute changes in a cable makeup. Some manufacturers even offer a free trial and return policy. I know that. But, in a moderately priced system, are there any opinions that would deter one from using the Audioquest brand vs another brand? Remember....staying in a comparable price range.

@bigfoot9p6 You're FOS I've always received great response from Audioquest. |
@lordmelton I disagree. That was not YOUR experience and I base that conclusion on absolutely nothing. See how clever that makes me sound? |
@khbaur330162 FEP and PTFE (Teflon) are very similar, both are very strong and inert when used as dielectrics on audio cables; Dupont called FEP as 'Teflon FEP'. They are the dielectrics least affected by the atmosphere or by chemical compounds, ultraviolet rays, sulfides, etc. PVC, for example, tends to deteriorate after about thirty years, especially if exposed to polluted air and sunlight. Technically, supermicroporous PTFE foam is considered, after air, the dielectric with the lowest dielectric constant. Also, polyethylene and polypropylene are durable and high quality dielectrics for audio. |
